I use the 3M push-in ear plugs - they have a stiff blue plastic part in the middle so you can take them in and out quickly and easily. With regular foam ear plugs you have the squeeze or roll them, then stick them in, them hold them with your finger for a while to get them to stay. The push-in style are much quicker!

Everything is garbage any more. I've had a pair of plugs for about the last 7 years that were easy to insert/remove, were comfy, and did a good job of blocking the noise. Then one day I lost them. They don't make them any more.

I've tried three other kinds since and they are all crap. They are plugs found in the sporting goods section from various makers. They either don't fit, are hard to insert/remove quickly, or the stupid things fall off the string.
